One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

Before coming to pay his respects, Da Zheng was clearly already aware of the master-servant relationship between the rebel army and Yang Ming, and knew that Yang Ming was the real master behind the rebel army, so he came to see Yang Ming as soon as possible.

The soldiers who blocked the road did not take advantage of their power. They carefully examined the letter and found no signs of poisoning before turning around and entering their camp.

Not long after, the soldiers came out again.

"General Shura requests your presence."

"Sir," Taisho pulled a handful of beri from his pocket, attempting to hand it to the soldier, and said with a fawning smile, "this is a small token of my respect; please accept it. I have a favor to ask..."

Chapter 245 Giving You Ten Seconds to Live

Seeing that the "blood-written" official was trying to force money into his hand, the gatekeeper's face hardened, he blocked the money with his hand, and said coldly:

"There's no need for that. You can speak with the general face to face if you have anything to say."

Dazheng was somewhat taken aback.

In Wano Country, a closed-off country, everything requires a certain level of social etiquette; otherwise, it's difficult to survive.

And this so-called social etiquette is often paved with money.

Having been in the underworld of Wano Country for so many years, Daisei was already very adept at these social niceties, but unexpectedly, he suffered a setback at the gates of the naval base.

But then, upon further reflection, Dazheng suddenly realized something.

As the saying goes, a cowardly soldier is a coward, but a cowardly general leads to a whole army of cowards.

Even the gatekeepers are so upright and know their duties clearly. One can only imagine what kind of person that Asura General must be!

Before coming to visit Yang Ming, Da Zheng had already learned about the life of this Shura General through his network of connections.

Fearless of the powerful and wealthy, they overpowered pirates, outwitted formidable enemies, quelled drought, swept away the Western Sea, and cleansed away evil spirits!

It can be said that this Asura General is a walking legend.

Even before seeing Yang Ming in person, Da Zheng felt a sense of reverence.

When he entered the naval base and arrived at Yang Ming's office, Da Zheng was immediately excited when he saw the old man standing to the side.

"Uncle Soldier, you're here too?"

Immediately, Da Zheng realized where he was and immediately fell silent, but he made no attempt to hide his excitement.

In the underworld of Wano Country, Hyogoro the Flower is a godfather-like figure, revered by countless people, including Omasa.

Dazheng turned to look at the young general behind the desk, immediately bowed, and said with a touch more sincerity in his tone:

"I have led more than two hundred guards to join you, and hope that you will take me in, General."

Yang Ming remained noncommittal and did not respond immediately. Instead, he took out a document.

The information in this document was collected by Buggy the Clown from the Akatsuki organization and compiled by his personal secretary, Kalifa. It records Daisei's life and the actions of his faction over the years.

"Omasa was originally a street urchin, but was later adopted by the Fujima Ryu family. He learned martial arts from a young age, and after adulthood, he formed a gang and built an underground force, making a living by collecting protection money from street vendors. He did not commit any indiscriminate killings. On the contrary, during the reign of Kurozumi Orochi, he repeatedly acted as a chivalrous hero, protecting the lives and property of innocent people..."

These events, one by one, are probably not even remembered clearly by Daizheng himself.

But as Yang Ming recounted the events in great detail, Da Zheng felt a suffocating pressure weighing on his shoulders. His heart was filled with doubt and unease, and he thought to himself:

"This Shura General is too terrifying. He has only been in Wano Country for a few months, yet he has gathered such detailed information. This person is truly cunning. Fortunately, I have no criminal record, otherwise I would have been walking into the tiger's den today."

After reading the last word, Yang Ming put down the document in his hand, interlaced his fingers under his chin, and his deep eyes seemed to see through people's hearts.

"Given your high reputation in the Udon area and the fact that you have never committed any crimes related to prostitution, I allow you to join the rebel army."

"call!"

When Dazheng walked out of the office, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he felt weak all over, as if he had fought the enemy for three days and three nights.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Omasa said to Hana no Hyōgoro, who had come out with him:

"Uncle Soldier, that Asura General is truly no ordinary man!"

Hana no Hyōgor deeply sympathized with this and said with considerable meaning:

"The world of Wano Country is about to change!"

The fact that Dazheng, known for his "blood-written" words, joined the rebel army seems to be some kind of signal.

When they learned that Hana no Hyogoro was still alive and had become a strategist for the rebel army, the various powerful families who had originally supported Kurozumi Orochi's new policies suddenly became deeply divided.

A significant number of people came to join the rebel army. Among them were Tsunagoro from the Hakumai region, Acho from the Suzugo region, and Mitabe from the Nozomi region.

Under Yang Ming's instructions, Kozuki Sukiyaki strictly screened those who came to join them and their forces. Anyone who oppressed the people or committed adultery was killed on the spot without any mercy.

Even if they pass the selection process, they still need to undergo a period of ideological reform before they can truly become a member of the rebel army.

During this process, not everyone will agree with Yang Ming's ideas and choose to withdraw from the uprising midway.

Even after this method of integration, the rebel army still swelled to as many as 800 people. If it were not strictly controlled, it would probably have swelled to more than 5,000 people, just like in the original story.

Although their numbers were smaller than in the original story, the rebels were unified in thought and leadership, with clear action guidelines and battle plans. The eight hundred men were a cohesive unit, making them much stronger than the disorganized group of over five thousand.

The rebel army was led by veterans who brought in new recruits. The new recruits integrated into the rebel army in a shorter time, and it only took a month to completely assimilate these outside forces that had come to join them.

Even the leaders of the underworld, such as Osaka, Tsuna, and Acho, have now shed their old clothes from the old society and put on the uniform gray military uniforms of the rebel army, and have even learned to sing the military songs popular in the rebel army.

"Arise, you starving and freezing slaves!"

"Arise, wolves of the world!"

"My blood is boiling; I must fight for the truth!"

"The old world shall be utterly destroyed! Arise, slaves! Arise!"

"Don't say we have nothing, we will be the masters of the world!"

"This is the final battle; let's unite for tomorrow!"

There has never been a savior, nor a god or emperor.

"To create human happiness, we must rely entirely on ourselves!"

The rebels sang their military songs loudly, marched proudly across the Zimu River, and advanced all the way to the outskirts of the Flower Capital!

At this moment, the entire Wano Country was shaken!

Wherever the rebel army went, the people welcomed them with food and drink, and they encountered very little resistance.

The villagers had long heard about the story of Bianli Village's escape from poverty and its rise to prosperity, and they eagerly awaited the arrival of the rebel army. They provided the rebel army with free lodging and food along the way. If the rebel army had not had extremely high recruitment standards, many villagers would probably have joined the army long ago.

What is the will of the people?

This is the will of the people!

When more than 800 rebel soldiers and naval personnel arrived in the City of Flowers and arrayed their troops outside the city walls, the shadow of war immediately loomed over this ancient city, and everyone could feel the oppressive atmosphere before the storm.

Yang Ming stood at the front of the army, while Kozuki Sukiyaki wisely lagged behind him by a step, looking meek and obedient like a little follower.

Looking up, Yang Ming was also amazed by the scenery before him.

From afar, one can see a magnificent building standing tall in the Flower Capital. It is the Shogun's Mansion, built since the founding of Wano Country. It is also the tallest building in the entire Wano Country, serving as both a gate tower and a watchtower. It is the residence of the Shogun of Wano Country, symbolizing political power and status.

The shogun's mansion features white walls paired with dark blue roof tiles, and each eave is decorated with gold leaf sculpted into the shape of a golden shachihoko, making it not only extremely grand but also resplendent, reflecting the ambition and aspirations of successive shoguns of Wano Country.

The entire Flower Capital's architectural layout can be divided into an inner city, a middle city, and an outer city. Two moats separate the different urban areas, and tall rock walls form a natural barrier. The Great Serpent Castle is located in the inner city.

The roads are wide and lined with cherry blossom trees. Whenever a gentle breeze blows, pink petals flutter through the city, creating a beautiful and romantic scene.

At this very moment, Orochi's ninjas were marching rapidly along the road, landing on the city walls to provide protection.

With a formidable enemy at hand, even Orochi could not take it lightly. He led his trusted followers from the Kurozumi family to the city wall and confronted Yang Ming across the distance.

Kurozumi Orochi had already learned of Yang Ming's existence from various intelligence reports, and recognized him at a glance, raising his voice:

"General Shura, you've been supporting the rebel army, conquering cities and fortresses along the way, and now you're even at the gates of our city. Are you perhaps planning to turn against Lord Kaido?"

Relying on the Beasts Pirates as his backer, Kurozumi Orochi was full of vigor.

The Navy, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the Four Emperors are the three major powers on this sea, checking and balancing each other. If the Navy goes to war with the Beast Pirates, it means the world will be in chaos.

Not only is the World Government unhappy with this situation, but many kingdoms and other powers are also unhappy about it.

Yang Ming snorted coldly and, having prepared in advance, pulled out a proclamation:

"Orochi seized power through conspiracy. As the Shogun of Wano Country, he colluded with Kaido of the Beasts. For many years, he has acted perversely, causing the country to decline and the people to live in misery. Now, he is even colluding with the Revolutionary Army, intending to overthrow the World Government's rule. His wolfish ambitions are abhorrent to both gods and men. Today, I have come to act on behalf of Heaven!"

Upon hearing this, Orochi was completely dumbfounded.

Wait a minute! (Reading La)

When did he become accomplices with the revolutionary army?

But Yang Ming wouldn't give Orochi a chance to defend himself.

Meanwhile, the Revolutionary Army has also been making moves, spreading dubious evidence through various channels until it fell into the hands of Fleet Admiral Sengoku, confirming the fact that the Beasts Pirates and the Revolutionary Army had secretly formed an alliance.

In this way, the world government would have no excuse to obstruct Yang Ming's plan.

As an electromagnetic cannon hurtled towards him, Kurozumi Orochi was terrified.

"Escort!"

An elderly man with white hair and beard immediately set out, his middle and index fingers overlapping to form a protective barrier in front of the two, which even blocked the electromagnetic cannon.

Once he was unharmed, the Kurozumi Orochi became arrogant.

"A mere general, nothing special!"

"Is that so?" Yang Ming slowly drew his sword. "I'll give you ten seconds to live."

Chapter 246 One Against Two! Fighting the Flame and the Plague Alone

Biwa-playing monk, Kurozumi Seimaru!

This elderly man, who was over seventy years old and practically on his deathbed, had no fighting ability whatsoever. Yet, thanks to his Paramecia-type Barrier-Barrier Fruit ability, he became Orochi's most powerful bodyguard.

When Orochi saw the electromagnetic cannon that Yang Ming was launching, he was terrified.

Because in previous battles, this Asura general had used this move to take down some tough opponents.

Fortunately, Kurozumi Semimaru did not betray his trust and once again saved him from danger.
